This world has one major need right now at the beginning of the 21st Century. The world doesn’t need another politician telling the people what they want to hear. The world doesn’t need a steady robust economy to help it through the hard times that have been prophesied upon it. No. The world needs the sons…
The Longing of Life – Purity There is a hope that burns like a refiner’s fire, a hope that purifies the heart, freeing it from the passions and the lusts of this world. “Beloved, now we are the children of God, and it was not yet revealed what we shall be. But we know that…
Christ, the exiled King of the universe, is coming back to this earth to fully establish His government. He will be reigning and ruling through a body of chosen humans, a cadre numbering a few thousand (Revelation 7, 14). The whole creation is waiting “for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God” (Rom.…
Those who put their trust and hope in God are a blessed people, as they have come to know only God is the one who can deliver them from all their trouble! (Psalm 33:12-20) Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance. The Lord looketh…
The Spirit of truth does not dwell where sin still reigns Sin must die on the cross with Christ before the Spirit of truth will dwell and abide in us. Yet sin is one of the most sensitive subjects—guilt, desperation, shame, and fear often accompany it. Few understand its scriptural definition: “Sin is the transgression…
OH’ what power God has worked through His Son Jesus who was raised from the grave on the third day, and those of us who believe and follow Him will also do the same. (Hosea 6:1-2) Come, and let us return unto the Lord: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath…
Seventy-five years on the planet gives me perspective on the nation’s decline into darkness. I have seen the degrading of almost everything in our society. Take music. Secular love songs from 60-70 years ago were about the pains and joys of the heart. Now they are of the “lusts of the flesh.” Economics? Our dollar…
The attitude of many is “I am just a sinner saved by grace” which makes the claim sin is inevitable in our life and we cannot be saved from sinning wholly. Those who have been genuinely redeemed know they cannot sin when the spirit of God lives within them. Those who have the mindset we cannot be freed completely from our sin will…
“As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for You, O God.” Psalm 42:1 (ESV) The Longing of Life – His Invitation “Heaven is endless longing, accompanied with an endless fruition– a longing which is blessedness, a longing which is life.” Alexander MacLaren (continued from Part One) Using the sailboat illustration again, the…
“As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for You, O God.” Psalm 42:1 (ESV) Throughout the history of God with His own, we touch the passion and eternal longing for something that transcends our understanding. The “panting” within David’s heart found a corresponding cry in God’s creation. He did not know…
It always comes down to the sin question. The Savior is not going to let us slide on this point. “Sin is the transgression of the law.” Breaking one of the Ten Commandments is the scriptural definition (I John 3: 4). We all have in the past broken them, but are we still breaking them?…
If any one of us were told we have to suffer greatly, fall into snares and traps people set up for us and then be persecuted for our belief in Christ chances are we would want to pass. Sadly at times we will be among people we thought loved the Lord as much as we do only to be disappointed by their actions that do not reflect Gods way! If we were told…
True peace of mind is an inner calm, contentment and confidence no matter what the outer circumstances. This seems impossible, but “with God all things are possible”. Peace: The Longing of Every Heart Peace—just hearing the word brings a sense of calm. People long for peace personally, in their relationships, and across the globe. Yet…
God’s Last‑Day “Special Treasure” He has a special treasure hidden in the earth. They are a chosen people whom He watches with keen attention as they walk through this world. He takes special note of them. O, that God would remember us! There is a way for these special ones to be in God’s memory.…
The Way to Answered Prayer and the Indwelling Presence of Yahweh There are commandments in Scripture that stand like doors. They do not merely instruct; they open into realms of divine experience. One such commandment appears in the writings of the apostle John: “This is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his…
